Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse -- Stage 3, Grant

No, it's not déjà vu, I promise...and I'm not just doing this to mess with you. After leaving the clock tower, Grant and Trevor loop back around and enter the forest from the previous branch from after the first stage. They must have found a shortcut, since they enter this level one block ahead of where Trevor does if he elects not to visit Stage 2.

The stage other than that is exactly the same as the one Trevor alone is seen visiting, but for whatever reason I felt it was important contextually. If you disagree, don't watch Trevor's version...or if it's too late for that, don't watch this version, I guess.

Of note at work here, you'll see that Grant can actually crouch low enough to avoid the Bone Pillar's fireballs, whereas each other character has to intercept the fireballs with an attack in order to avoid damage, very handy and not exactly something you might consider obvious.

The door at the end of this video leads to the next branch in the paths you can take through this game. The two versions of this video will diverge in that the Trevor-Grant partnership will choose to go straight to one of the two potential Stage 4 locations and the Trevor-only version will decide to go deeper into the forest and finish off Stage 3. The two paths will end up in entirely different locations that both will identify as Stage 4, but I'll get into greater detail about that later.
